The difference between Isobar and Millobar and today's weather
Good morning Augusta.
This morning it is partly cloudy. High of 70F. Winds from the NW at 10 to 15
mph.
Tonight it will be clear. Low of 50F. Winds from the WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
The readings from my own instruments are:
The humidity is 70% with a Dew Point of 61.6ºF and a wind chill of 61.4ºF.
The temperature is 61.4ºF.
We have East winds between 0.0 MPH and 1.0 MPH.
Our Barometric pressure is 29.77 HPA 1008.1 and rising with a weather
graphic indicating sun.
The UV rating is 1 out of 16, sunset will be at 7:58 PM with Moon Rise at
4:23 a.m. and the moon phase is a Waning crescent.
For the pilots out there, Raw Metar readings are:
METAR KAUG 051053Z AUTO 29008KT 10SM CLR 14/09 A2986 RMK AO2 SLP111
T01440089
Visibility is 10.0 miles/16.1 kilometers with wonderful and clear
conditions.
We've had no rain here in the past 24 hours.
